Weekly Harvest

Unfortunately nothing too exciting this week...The radishes are sizing up a few every day. Already we'd harvested about 0.5 lb of these crunchy nuggets. They are tasting great this time of year - perfectly crisp and mild without the slightest hint of bitterness, which is just how it like them. I also harvested all of my remaining mizuna (0.82 lbs). They'd started to bolt but still taste perfectly fine.

I had a very busy weekend digging in the garden. My Jersey Supreme asparagus crowns had arrived from Nourse farms on Thursday (25 large crowns total) and I was able to get them into the ground on Saturday. I also received my Jaclyn raspberry canes, an everbearing variety that I'm very excited to grow. Unfortunately I won't be able to plant them until next weekend so at the moment they are resting in a bucket, the roots covered with some potting soil.

That's all I got. Hopefully you all had a lovely weekend too! Now it's back to "work" work.

The radishes look great! I think I am going to pull my remaining Mizuna as well, they sure didn't seem to like our 90+ degree temps the past weekend, but I will definitely grow them again this fall, they were delicious!

Those radishes look picture perfect! We ate some fresh harvest asparagus for dinner last night. Having a patch is a pleasure so your invested time to plant up the 25 crowns will reward you well in about two year's time.
